Container device for cooking food

Abstract

The container device for cooking food is disclosed, the device comprising: a housing having an inner space defined therein, and a top cover, wherein non-cooked rice is received in the inner space, wherein the top cover is openable; a first hole defined in the top cover; an elastic steam filter disposed on an inner face of the cover to block the first hole, wherein the elastic steam filter is flexible and wherein the elastic steam filter is configured to allow passage of steam and to disallow passage of water, wherein the elastic steam filter includes nano-fibers; a support attached on the inner face of the cover to support the elastic steam filter; and a second hole defined in the support to vertically overlap the first hole.

1 . A container device for cooking food, the device comprising:
 a housing having an inner space defined therein, and a top cover, wherein non-cooked rice is received in the inner space, wherein the top cover is openable;   first and second holes defined in the top cover in first and second positions respectively;   an elastic blocking rubber disposed on an inner face of the cover to block the first hole, wherein the rubber is flexible;   a first support attached on the inner face of the cover to support the blocking rubber;   a steam filter disposed on an inner face of the cover to block the second hole, wherein the steam filter is configured to allow passage of steam and to disallow passage of water, wherein the steam filter is made of nano-fibers;   a second support attached on the inner face of the cover to support the steam filter;   a third hole defined in the first support to vertically overlap the first hole;   a fourth hole defined in the second support to vertically overlap the second hole.   
     
     
         2 . A container device for cooking food, the device comprising:
 a housing having an inner space defined therein, and a top cover, wherein non-cooked rice is received in the inner space, wherein the top cover is openable;   a first hole defined in the top cover;   an elastic steam filter disposed on an inner face of the cover to block the first hole, wherein the elastic steam filter is flexible and wherein the elastic steam filter is configured to allow passage of steam and to disallow passage of water, wherein the elastic steam filter includes nano-fibers;   a support attached on the inner face of the cover to support the elastic steam filter; and   a second hole defined in the support to vertically overlap the first hole.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first support is configured such that when a downward-pressure is applied to the blocking rubber, one end of the blocking rubber is removed from the first support and is bent downwards through the third hole into the inner space while the other end of the blocking rubber is supported by the first support. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the support is configured such that when a downward-pressure is applied to the steam filter, one end of the steam filter is removed from the support and is bent downwards through the second hole into the inner space while the other end of the steam filter is supported by the support. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the fourth hole is plural. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a solid fuel based heater disposed on or under a bottom of the housing. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising a solid fuel based heater disposed on or under a bottom of the housing.
